I reached out to them via their website, and didn't receive a response initially, necessitating that I follow up via phone. I eventually spoke with Joan, who apologized for the lack of follow up, and suggested I come in for a meeting.
The meeting was brief. Joan was a bit late, came in, sat down, and asked me to explain what I do. I work in the BI field (BI manager), and defined/described what that was. Twice she asked if it 'was like tech support', to which I replied it was not. I did say I did a lot of project management activities in my prior roles, and she replied she does have a fair amount of PM roles currently, but none specifically suited to.my skillet. She asked me to add her on LinkedIn and said she'd forward along any roles that matched my skill set. That was the last I heard from Joan, or anyone at Manning for that matter. I did eventually find a wonderful job on my own.
Although a waste of time for me personally, I gave two stars because I did sense a general willingness to want to help, but I think that I was disadvantaged because the recruiter wasn't clear on what a BI professional does, and so didn't send anything along in terms of job postings.
